AMD’s new Ryzen Embedded 9000 Series delivers high-performance, energy-efficient processing to the forefront of industrial automation and machine vision.
AMD has unveiled its latest lineup of processors designed for industrial computing, with the new Ryzen Embedded 9000 Series aimed at handling the increasing demands of automation, machine vision, and embedded systems. Built on AMD’s latest Zen 5 architecture, these chips offer a mix of high performance, energy efficiency, and long-term reliability, which are key requirements for industrial environments.
The Ryzen Embedded 9000 Series is designed for applications that require fast data processing and real-time responsiveness. From factory-floor PCs and automation systems to machine vision setups running AI tasks, the chips are designed to meet the performance demands of industrial environments without sacrificing efficiency.
Zen 5 Architecture and 4nm Process Power Up to 16 Cores
At the technical level, the processors are built using a 4nm manufacturing process and support up to 16 high-performance cores. The configurable power envelope ranges from 65W to 170W, offering flexibility for both energy-conscious applications and more compute-heavy operations. Support for DDR5 memory, PCIe Gen5 connectivity, and AMD’s 3D V-Cache (with up to 128MB of cache) boosts data throughput. It minimizes latency, both of which are critical factors in real-time industrial scenarios. Connectivity options include support for WiFi 6E, PCIe Gen 5, and high-speed I/O. System designers can build solutions that are capable today and adaptable to future requirements.
The series also features integrated graphics based on the AMD RDNA 2 architecture, enabling graphics and vision processing without the need for separate GPUs. This reduces system complexity and cost, which can be particularly beneficial in embedded designs where space and power budgets are limited.
In the area of machine vision, the processors provide hardware acceleration for AI inference and video processing, supported by AVX-512 instructions. This enables use cases like quality control, defect detection, and real-time monitoring with a high degree of precision and responsiveness.
Long-Term Availability with Support Through AM5 Socket
Industrial systems often remain in operation for years, and AMD has designed the 9000 Series with that lifecycle in mind. These chips are compatible with the AM5 socket and are expected to be available for up to seven years. Ryzen PRO variants are planned for later this year, offering up to a decade of availability. These PRO models will also feature enterprise-grade security and manageability, including secure boot capabilities and full memory encryption.
The Ryzen Embedded 9000 Series is designed to handle the real-world demands of industrial systems, from automation to edge computing. It’s a significant step forward for embedded platforms that require both performance and reliability over the long term.
